Two
medically-oriented databases that our students can use for health research
are available via a resource called EBSCOhost. These databases are Health Source: Nursing and CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature). Users can get articles from CINAHL and HealthSource,
many of which are available in full-text. The databases have a number of
important features that we will cover in this tutorial.
In
order to proceed with this exercise it is important for you to identify
your topic: what is a good term to describe it? Can it be said in
a single word, e.g. education? Or is it better said in a short phrase,
e.g. higher education? Or is it better conveyed by two different
subjects combined with the word "and," e.g. education and certification?
Write down some keywords to search by, remembering what you have
learned about keyword searching strategies. If
you find an article that is relevant to your topic, be sure
to print it out so you can use it for your research.
